From the Bartender

Drambuie is itself Scotch-based, so the choice of base whisky matters - a blended Scotch keeps the drink harmonious, while a lightly peated single malt adds complexity without overwhelming the liqueur's honeyed character. Avoid heavily peated Islays, which can overpower the vermouth's delicate herbal notes.
